strikes devastated pumps of rough uh, overnight flattening buildings and destroying a mosque. dozens of palestinians were killed and many more taken to hospital with serious injuries. we were at home when the air strikes were going on. i told my mother that i wanted to use the bathroom and she was awake. suddenly all the walls at the bathroom and all the water containers above it collapsed on me. most of the roughly 1400000 palestinians currently in rough or flood from other parts of garza. they were trying to escape the intense fighting and now the areas in the city was designated a safe so in to civilians by the x ray,

the army recent is rarely strikes and rough. uh, have eliminated any sense of security for palestinians. the, let's take a look at some of the stories making headlines today for us present. donald trump has appealed to the supreme court in the case of his criminal prosecution for trying to overturn the 2020 election from claims he is immune from prosecution. as asking the top judges to put on hold a lower court ruling and thereby delayed his trial. thailand's jailed former premier trucks and shuttle out has been granted parole officials, so the decision was made in full accordance with regulations. person is currently being treated at a police hospital. he was serving a 12 month sentence for returning to thailand after years in ex thousands of sheep and cancel the poor stuck on a ship bound for israel. have

a ride back at the port. they left 6 weeks ago livestock were sailing from australia through the red sea, but had to turn around due to the threats of attack from humans with the rebels. animal rights activists have called their treatment crew. and do these are set to elect a new president on wednesday of the 3 candidates were facing off, but with one and clear favorite for both. so be on to has the backing of current president joe co with dodo and is leading the polls for bobo has been a staple of indonesian politics for decades and is a controversial figure. and he has been accused of human rights abuses during indonesia, is dictatorship. is rival say they will offer the country a needed change? dancing for victory. that's one of the last pain days in the city of may done all this. this is problem, most of the started lead to me just defense minister, but you looks like

a good fest to become the countries next president. he's holding big complain, events, and offering isn't big. our promises to the nation. lot of change. very improve the life of our people to get rid of everything. it's probably 30. this time us the packing or for my arrival president jacoby toby's eldest son, this up for vice president with probable for what will be team number 2 of the ballots evolved for on february 14th number 2 and look, especially the young people. if you come across any negative campaigns above shows on social media, got the business. just ignore this done on the file as there are plenty of those young people,

more than half of indonesia as electrical voters on the 14 bubble who is 72. and was the son in law to dictate as to how to has been accused of human rights. but on social media, he presents himself as a cuddly grandpa offering to come to new difficulties. reforms his competitors like from a to a contract governor on east bus. sweet on running team. number one. leave the country. it's ready to refill. we see the rice is expensive, but are the farmers prosperous? and there are mess is out. there are tons a be around to cases what is needed here. his author is change, but he's based on the details that fits with guns up removal and his team. number 3, he's far behind to the polls proposal for the 1st round out. right. things could get interesting in a run because they're potentially

a good team also with one of your opponents. like with all these next time we've been talking about it. but the 2nd round seems unlikely. jacoby is not allowed to run again, but has not to remain neutral as he hosted all 3 candidates at the presidential palace during the campaign. everyone knew he put his foot political weight behind the proposal, and his son keeper on that should be something that they had been working on right in the 3rd and for that support. i think part of the pushy, but the thing is that uh, quite significant or for the brand as the, as the vice president, if they are elected, which are probably asked to leave the political stage in southeast asia, because the economy could retain significant influence behind the scenes now it's

up to 205000000 voters to decide if this is the music they want. the next president, florida, we're joined from jakarta by dw is asian pacific bureau chief, your tomatoes, who filed that report. derek, we heard in your report that the candidates are calling for change. that's also true proposal. so beyond to the leading candidate, what kind of changes he calling for story? let's put it this way. if ever reasons could vote as far as time for the current presidents jacoby a took over, you have a total. and then that is actually what they would do. and the person who stands for the legacy of the, of the decade, us indonesian say, here, of a decade of stability and prosperity that the jacoby has has brought. then this is probable some young people he is talking a lot about continuing the reforms of the current president. he's talking about popular programs like a free lunch for school children that he wants to provide services. he talks about the goals and indonesia, off 20

a $45.00. and that really is the problem for it is competitors because people are so content with what they had in the past decade. that it's really difficult to say, you know, we need a radical change from, from what we had in the past. from of a, however, who's a bit of a dark pass, doesn't he? uh key or does it including allegations of human rights abuses is, is that proving a liability for him? i think 1st of all, this goes to show how important social media campaigns are half of the electro. it is under 40 here in indonesia and they consume a lot of social media. and the problem with the team is running a super efficient a campaign, present them him and him as a, as a cuddly grandfather. grandpa, if you want someone who, who holds the ford and continues the heritage of, of the current president. and so the dark past as something goes, i'm to forties. i don't remember. and let's,

let's be clear. a bobo was number of prosecutors. he was honorably discharged. there were allegations about human rights abuses and the d orchestrate that the kids not being of, of active business. but none of that has been reading. and frankly, it hasn't damaged his campaign. a lot of the that it was hardly mentioned during those past months of competing as he mentioned, the current president joke over though there has been a popular leader. how much influence is he having on the campaign deal? yeah, i would say here a picture say more than 1000 words. there is this one post or election poster where you see purple and copays. so i'm deep wrong and jacoby in the background like a god father leaning over the 2 of them. and if you look for a controversial issue in this electoral race, it is really the fact that to call we had not even the worst trouble was a candidate which is what we have been illegal. but you really showed up on

numerous occasions together with proposal. it's an open secret that he has thrown in his political wage behind this one candidates. and that is something that many of the nations have objected to. there were that the experts i have talked to as that's a this has not undermined introducing democracy. there's still a strong civil society in indonesia that upholds democracy. but is this a political dynasty and the making? that's what a lot of experts say, yes, that is the case. scared. thank you very much. that was our isn't pacific bureau chief new york bottles in jakarta. finally, venice is gearing up for the highlight of its carnival season. the total is more vibrantly costumed revellers concealed themselves behind mysterious masks for the mall, which marks the final day of carnival on trove tuesday. or on the ground during the renaissance, these mast poles celebrated. venice is military prowess these days. it's more of
